Listen gang, I have an issue that started the other day. While I am driving, my part time 4x4 indicator lights up for a few seconds and then shuts off. This happends only while I am driving. Does any one have any insite to why this is doing this? Has it happend to you? |

just an issue with the sensor, i've had the same problem ever since i took the KJ seriously off-roading, but your t-case is still staying in 2hi, so no worries there. Mine's a bit different though, my sensor got knocked out of whack just enough that it's on in 2hi, and off in 4hi...kinda strange, have to get under there and take a look at it soon, hopefully this Wed. |

Ya know, That is what I was thinking about. I know that it is not engaging into 4wd because I can feel it. When this started, I have noticed that my leg rest against the 4wd shifter while I am driving. I was thinking by doing this over the last 3 years something must have worn out. Who knows. I was thinking about this weekend to take it apart and have a look at it and see if it is something simple. Thans for your reply on this Savage |

I doubt you did any damage to the sensor by leaning on the shifter, the sensor is on the upper half on the driver's of the t-case i believe. Good luck...let me know what you find... |

Savage, I got a chance to take a look at the sensor. You nailed it man. The sensor needs to be replaced. I will do that some time soon. There really is nothing wrong or being affected by it except the light may burn out ..... Thanks for you input on this.

Same issue here but with an '06 it makes a fairly big difference. 4 low turns off stability control, turns traction control to partial off and changes the throttle-by-wire sensitivety. Feels like the engine lost half its power when this happens and not pleased with the stability control randomly shutting off with my GF driving it. Plus I get the call asking "why is the yellow dashboard light of a jeep with two squigly lines behind it on?" |

man dude, sounds like you have something other then just a messed up sensor. I would bring that issue to a stealership and get it fixed. |

I beleive it's just the selector position sensor. Tells the computer it's in 4 low when it isn't and the computer does what it is programmed to do. Love'em electronic goodies. |
